lam et pluvlam non timent. Ubi sunt puellae? Foras sunt; 
filiae agricolae historlam narrant. Ranae sunt incolae aquae 
et terrae. Fama modestlae est corona feminarum. Scriba 
epistulam habet. Columbae habent alas. Cur non exspectatis 
puellas agricolae ? Cur non laboratis ? Agricolae cliligentiam 
laudamus et scribae pigritlam vituperamus. Magistra dis- 
cipulas vituperat. Modestia est gloria puellarum. 

19. Where is the Lord of heaven and earth ? Everywhere. 
A river has banks. Gold is a metal. Gold and iron are

ous. The girls are modest. Happy are the farmers. Silver

temple of God. Money is a necessary support of life. The 
teacher tells the physician's daughters a story.

his brother-in-law. Blessed is the life of boys. The scholars 
obey their teacher. Knives are implements of men. The

books, a few have old ones. I am a merry boj r ; you are a 
strict teacher; I like the plays of boys; you like books and

24z. Libri sunt donum amici. Somnus viris, feminis, liberis 
necessarius est. Virum jus turn et probum laudamus. Ludi 
puerorum interdum periculosi sunt. Amicus liberos amici 
amat. Mala exempla pueris noxia sunt. Lucifer agricolam

sunt boni magistri. Yir probus semper fidus amicus est. 
Magister magnam parvi pueri diligentiam laudat. Agricolae 
amant hortos, prata, equos, vaccas et columbas. Puer modes- 
tus magistro placet. Apri umbram silvae amant. 

25. The boy is sick. The girl is sick. It is a true proverb: 
The way of true glory is rough. Human life is sometimes 
wretched. Rough winds and frequent rains injure the tender 
plants. Many scholars have old and torn books. Red cheeks 
are a beautiful ornament of boys. The punishment of the lazy 
scholar is just. The left wing of the dove is torn, the right 
wing is whole. Many fields are not fertile. The good fortune 
of a friend delights a friend. Swans have white feathers, 
ravens have black feathers. 

26. Multi pueri sunt pigri. In horto sunt rosae rubrae et 
lilla alba. Bonis viris templum Domini sacrum est. Agri- 
colae equi sunt nigri. Yiae insulae sunt asperae. Folia ro- 
sarum et liliorum pulchra sunt. Caelum pulchrarum stella- 
rum plenum est, et terra tenerarum plantarum plena est. 
Pueri pigri magistrum severum non amant. Libri multorum 
puerorum sunt laceri et sordidi. Liberi rubros stilos habent. 
Exemplum pigri pueri universis discipulis noxium est. Cyc- 
nus est albus, aquila est nigra. Libri laceri, vetusti et sordidi 
sunt signum pigritiae. Tenerae puellae asperos puerorum 
ludos timent. 

27. Diphthongs are always long. Sailors do not fear the 
deep sea. Egypt is fertile. My knife is not sharp. The 
poplar is high, the beech is shady; in the forest there are 
high beeches; in the garden are fertile fruit-trees and red 
roses. Many pupils of our school are sick. Our teachers are 
our friends. Your fields are fertile. Your teachers are 



learned. Our vices are shameful. Where is your teacher, 
my son ? The soil is not always moist. The girls of our 
school are attentive and modest. The years of our life are 
uncertain, the joys of heaven are everlasting. The poison of 
the viper is deadly to many beasts. 

28. Boni discipuli amant magistrum suum ; bonus magister 
amat discipulos suos. Multae plantae humum humidam 
amant. Populi procerae sunt ornamentum viarum et hor- 
torum. Yiclni mei sunt viri probi. Libri vestri sunt laceri, 
libri nostri sunt pulchri. Magistri modesta discipulorum verba 
amant. Equus dommo suo fidus est. Fagus et ulmus sunt 
umbrosae. Pueri scholae nostrae sunt robusti et validi ; 
pauci sunt imbecilli. Yilla avi mei ampla est et hortus pul- 
cher. Magistri vestri sunt amlci vestri. Oppida nostra 
bonas scholas habent. Mi fili, cur non ambulas cum amlcis 
tuis ? Methodus magistri vestri est bona. Liberi amlci mei 
sunt aegri. 

29. Lions are the lords of the forests. Many insects are troub- 
lesome to men. The souls of men are divine. The boys are 
learning the history of America. High poplars often grow 
near the banks of rivers. Boys sharpen their pencils with a 
knife. The peacock has beautiful feathers. Man is the lord 
of the earth. Sleep is necessary to man. Tall poplars do not 
cast much shade. The girl is writing a beautiful letter. 
Beauty is a frail possession. God loves men. The leaves are, 
so to speak, the lungs of plants. Custom is second nature. 
Tender girls fear the north wind ; the northwind is a rough 
wind. Man loves man. The nature of man and beast de- 
mands food and drink. Men eat meat. 

30. Quid legis, Carole ? Magistri novum librum lego. Bes- 
tiae silvae leonein timent. Aquilo est ventus asper, vale- 
tudmi noxius. Pulchrae pavonis pennae pueros delectant. 
Amicus noster saepe stultorum hominum opiniones vitupe- 
rat. Bonorum librorum ordlnes delectant avum meum. Pueri 
et puellae hirundincs et alaudas amant. Quis non amat 



— 6 — 

hirundmes et alaudas! Agricola viclno pavonem vendit. Animi 
hominum Dei imagines sunt. Filii agricolae in silvis vivunt. 
Homo est pulchritudo mundi. Vir probus neminem timet, 
nemmem laeclit. Homines aquam et vinum bibunt. 

31. Men eat cooked meat; wild beasts eat raw meat. The 
origin of many nations is obscure. There is an endless multi- 
tude of diseases. The talk of boys is sometimes foolish. 
Butterflies are beautiful, bats are ugly. Yeal is tender. 
The lion is strong. Good health is a gift of God. My slate 
has a narrow edge, your slate has a broad edge. The multi- 
tude is credulous. Many beasts serve [to] men. Solitude is 
pleasant to few men. Teachers instruct boys, servants serve 
their masters, children obey their teachers, The lion is a 
wild beast. 

32. Hirundmes domiciles hominum amlcae sunt. Saepe 
homines mali pulchras orationes habent. In horto nostro sunt 
multi papiliones pulchri. Pavones sunt superbi. Aeger vicini 
films septentrionem asperum timet. Actio honesta honesti 
animi signum est. Plumae superbi pavonis pueros delectant. 
Pulchritudo externa non est sempiterna, Jucundus est viri 
perlti sermo. Margo fluvii multis plantis et herbis ornatus 
est. Margo libri mei est latus, margo libri tui angustus est. 
Avus meus in solitudme insulae vivit. Testudmes carnem 
sapidam habent. 

33. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Teach- 
ers instruct boys. God is the author of reason. Attentive 
hearers are pleasing to speakers. Your labors are trouble- 
some. Sailors do not fear the deep sea. Marble is precious. 
The trees of our garden are high and fruit-bearing. The crea- 
tor of the world is eternal. Larks are pleasant to shepherds 
and farmers. God's love towards men is infinite. The life of 
shepherds is free from troublesome labors. Pure water has 
neither taste, nor smell, nor color. The noise of boys is 
troublesome. The fields and woods delight the hunter. 



34. Oratores attentos auditores amant. Magnus labor saepe 
initium magnorum honorum est. Calor interdum hominibus 
molestus est. Pavonis pennae varios colores habent. Labor 

est veri honoris causa. Venatdres agrum ct silvam amant. 
Arbores silvae densae ardorem cacli arcent. Pavonis colores 
sunt pulchri et varii. Pastor venatori viam per silvam mon- 
strat. Multae rosae jucundum odorem habent. Sursum 
corda! Clamor puerorum magnus est. Ratio humana multis 
erroribus obnoxia est. In nostris silvis pulchrae arbores sunt. 
Pulchri vespertiliones sunt gaudium puerorum. Cordis morbi 
semper sunt periculosi. 

35. The smells and colors of flowers are various. The ele- 
phant has large and strong bones. Honors change manners. 
Flowers delight men not only by their beauty, but also by 
their pleasing smell. A red mouth is not always a sign of 
good health. The dew of heaven is pure. Many flowers have 
a pleasant smell. The smell of flowers is troublesome to sick 
persons. Food is often pleasant to the mouth, but injurious 
to the stomach. The eyes of oxen are large. Clover is feed 
[of] for oxen and horses. Lions, horses and oxen have strong 
bones. Farmers plow the fields with horses and oxen. My 
father delights his friends by the charm of his conversation. 
My sister's dowry is not great. He who paints a flower does 
not paint the smell of the flower. 

30. Multi flores rorem purum amant. Mores populorum 
diversi sunt. Avus noster nepotes suos amat. Sacerdotes 
sunt Dei ministri. Boni pueri bonos mores habent. Vicinus 
noster multos boves habet. Avus metis attentum villae et 
hortorum custodem habet. Arbores varios flores habent. 
Flores horti nostri sunt pulchri ct jucundum odorem habent. 
Rosae sunt flores pulchri. Foenum bubus gratum est. Cotes 
sunt durae. Magni fluvli multa ora habent. Color ossium 
albus est. Ossa leonum, bourn et equorum sunt robusta. 
Piger agricolae films umbram densarum arborum amat. Ami- 
cus tuus uxorem sedulam habet. 



37. Folly is the mother of many evils. The cares of fathers 
and mothers are great. Geese have long necks. The flowers 
of spring are numberless. Moist air is the cause of many 
diseases. Geese are large, sparrows small. Spring is 
charming; journeys in spring are pleasing. A father and 
mother love their children. Man and woman have different 
duties. A brother loves his brother and sister. Showers are 
often injurious to flowers and plants. Repetition is the 
mother of studies. Ravens tear the dead bodies of men and 
beasts. The sky of Britain is unpleasant on account of the 
frequency of showers. Around the town there are broad ram- 
parts and deep ditches. 

38. Colla anserum sunt longa. Frater amat fratres et sorores. 
Clamor parvorum passerum saepe magnus et molestus est. 
Pulchrum ver amamus. Piscatores plerumque parvos lintres 
habent. Rustici multos anseres habent. Frater sorori florem 
dat. Officia virorum et mulierum diversa sunt. Pigritia 
multorum malorum mater est. Vcre et autumno itinera jii- 
cunda sunt. Anserum clamor jucundus non est. Quis non 
amat pulchrum ver et itinera per regiones amoenas? Puer 
bonus patrem et matrem amat. Matris cor saepe curarum 
plenum est. Bonus films est gaudlum patris et matris. Yita 
humana est iter molestum. Temperantia bonae valetudinis 
mater est. Yere viSla est regina florum. 

39. The diamond is hard. Through errors we come to truth, 
through misfortunes to happiness. In summer the heat was 
troublesome to many farmers. A small pleasure is often the 
cause of a great misfortune. Reason and speech are the bond 
of human society. The Roman as was a small coin. Differ- 
ent ages have different duties. Lazy pupils always have 
great difficulties. War devastates towns and states. A 
farmer has many geese and many ducks. Too much security 
is the beginning of misfortune. Man has free will, beasts 
obey their [desires] instincts. Poverty is not hard to an upright 
man. Many pleasures injure [the age of boys] boyhood. A 
golden vessel is precious. 



__ 9 — 

40m Multi homines voluptates stultas amant. Officia diver- 
sarum aetatum diversa sunt t Aestate labor multis hominibus 
molestus est. Vir probus vanitatem contemnit. Magna 
libertas saepe magnarum civitfitum rulna est, Difficultates 
diligentiam seduli discipuli acuunt. Paupertas interdum 
beneiicTum est. Est magna lkiguaruni varietas inter homines. 
Digestio ad sanitatem necessaria est. Cupid itates sunt morbi 
animi. Libertas populis novi mundi cara est. Aestate ar- 
bores floribus et foliis ornatae sunt. Adanias pretiosus micat. 
Frugalitas est bonae valetudmis mater. Vir probus paret 
rationi, non cupiditatibus. 

4:1. Many men live on birds and fish. The navy of the 
Britons has a great number of ships. The usefulness of bees 
is great. Eagles, ravens, hens 7 geese and ducks are birds. 
Ants have a queen, like bees. The life of men requires water 
and fire. The birds of the forests and the fish of the rivers 
are the prey of men. The anchor holds the ship fast against 
the force of the winds. The lungs refresh the blood. On ac- 
count of fever and cough many scholars have not been in 
school. On account of hoarseness the words of the speaker 
were not clear. Rome is situated on the Tiber. Near 
Naples is fire-vomiting Vesuvius. The watchfulness of dogs is 
often the terror of robbers. The heart is the receptacle of 
the blood. In the month of January is my brother's birth- 
day; when is your sister's birthday, Charles? My sister's 
birthday is in the month of February. 

42. Aqua frigida bonum remedmm contra tussim et ravim 
est. Canes sunt custodes ovmm. Utilttas canum et felmm 
ublque nota est. Venatores pulvere et sanguine sordldi erant. 
Cives magnanimitatem hostlum laudant. Dcus est creator 
caeli et terrae, ignis, aquae, aeris, horn Tnum, bestifirum, avi- 
um, piscium, insectorum, vermium, lapidum et metallorum. 
In sanguine homlnum ferrum est. Ossa sunt cibus canum. 
Aestate pueri plerumque a tussi liberi sunt. Fatris natalis 
mense Januarlo est. Ignis est causa caloris. Sollertia apium 
et formicarum mira est.

43c Truth lias great force, and conquers by its own force and 
power. Worms are injurious to gardens. Some birds indi- 
cate a coming storm. American citizens are free. The ears 
of asses are long. The busy bees are a good example for boys. 
True friends are rare birds. Many birds, as the nightingale 
and lark, delight the ears of men. Our native country has 
many fertile valleys. The powers of the mind are various. 
The end of our life is uncertain. Small fishes are food for 
great fishes. Parian marble is a hard and valuable stone. 
A prosperous beginning has often a wretched end. The blood 
of birds and of fishes is red. Even bad men often have fine 
clothes. We are dust and shadow. 

44. America magnos et profundos amnes habet. Yerus amicus 
rara avis. Homines rubrum et calidum sangumem habent. Ada- 
mantes sunt lapldes duri. Celeritas multorum canum magna 
est. Sunt nigrae et albae oves. Sanguis pisclum frigidus est. 
Deus hominibus panem cotidianum dat. Agricola custodiam 
canum suorum laudat. Magister pigris discipiilis sedulas apes 
et formicas monstrat. Ignis est vitae hommum necessarms. 
Januarms et Februarius primi anni menses sunt. Patria nostra 
altos colles et amoenas valles habet. Rhenus est magnus et 
profundus amnis. Pulvis ocillis noxms est. Magna est consue- 
tudmis vis. Mi amice, puer fuisti, nunc juvenis es, et mox eris 
vir. Cycnus niger est rara avis. Puellae pulchras vestes habent. 

45. Hunger is the best cook. The blood of quadrupeds, birds 
and fishes is red. The miser does not see the joy of his heirs. 
The moon is the companion of our earth. Whirlpools are 
often dangerous to small ships. The silver-fir is a high and 
tall tree. The farmer carries the sheaves into the barn. The 
wind drives away the black clouds. The defeat of the enemy 
was great. . Black clouds are not pleasing to sailors. Be- 
tween your field and ours there is a narrow path. Dogs are 
faithful companions of their masters. A good man has often 
a wicked heir. A good conscience [has] brings a sure reward. 
Black clouds are the cause of storms. Fine crops delight the 
farmer. Lions, cats, dogs, sheep and foxes are quadrupeds. 



— 11 — 

46. Famulus bonus fidus sui domini comes est. Equi, boves, 
feles, canes, oves, vulpes sunt quadrupedes. Caedes militum 
magna erat. Saepe sunt atrae nubes in caelo. Nattira la- 
borem et quietem postulat. Fames et sitis molestae sunt. 
Yulpes sunt astutae. Calliditas vulpium nota est. Abies Ame- 
ricana est arbor pulchra. Quadrupedes rubrum sangulnem 
habent. Sedes vitae in corde est. Anna pedftum et equitum 
sunt diversa. Pavo superbus pedes foedos habet, Anseres 
sunt albi, pedes anserum sunt rubri. Verba obscfira interpre- 
tem postulant. Filii et filiae sunt heredes patrum et matrum. 

47. Soldiers are the defenders of cities and their citizens. 
Envy is the source of many eyils. Death is the end of our life. 
Months are parts of a year, a year is part of eternity. The 
bones of children are tender. Sleep is the image of death. Many 
tribes haye not a fixed seat. The brow of a good man is always 
serene. Behind the high mountains there are deep yalleys. 
The poison of many serpents is deadly to men. A good son is 
the joy of his parents. Xo one is blessed before death. Children 
love their parents. You were a child, now you are a boy, soon 
you will be a youth. Death is bitter to the wicked man. The 
East is opposite [to] the West. Death is certain, but the hour 
of death is uncertain. Against the power of death, there grows 
not an herb in the gardens. Sometimes even bad men are agree- 
able to the common people. Wealth reyeals a man's character. 

48. In America sunt multi alti montes. Roma et Neapolis 
sunt magnae Italiae urbes. Dentes canum sunt albi, duri et 
acuti. Helvetia altos montes et amoenas valles habet. Hieme 
arbores nostrae neque folia neque flores habent; autunmo 
frons silvarum Americanarum splendlda est. Aer aestate ca- 
lidus, hieme frigidus est. Invidia et avaritia sunt fontes 
multorum malorum. Somnus est firater mortis. Hora pars 
parva anni est. Infantes tenera ossa habent. Plurlmi 
fontes aquam frigidam habent ; aqua nonnullorum fontium 
calida est. Boni filii sunt gaudium parentum. Similitudo 
mortis et somni magna est. Hiems longa agricolis molesta 
est. In montibus orlgo multorum fontium est. 



— 12 — 

49. Light is the image of life, night of death. The moon is 
the companion of the night. A long peace is troublesome to 
a warlike tribe. Judges are the interpreters of the laws. 
The force of habit is great ; hunters stay all night long in the 
snow. The bark of old trees is hard and rough. The laws of 
the state are sacred to good citizens. The farmer cuts the 
crop with a sharp sickle. Shepherds are the guardians of 
their flocks. The duties of old and young men are different. 
Good citizens obey [to] the laws of the state. The lion is the 
king of quadrupeds. The moon has various changes of light. 
Good wares [praise] bring praise to the merchant. Old trees 
have long and strong roots. The clouds are the cause of 
rain, snow and hail. Some trees have a smooth bark. 

50. Radices vetustarum arborum sunt profundae et robustae. 
Amor pecuniae est radix mali. Mattira seges falces acutas 
postulat. Multae cornices longam vitam habent. Pix est 
nigra et lenta. Leges Romanorum severae erant, sed justae. 
Ignis est causa lucis, caloris et coloris. Nix verna non manet. 
Hiems agros nive tegit. Juvenes et senes diversa officia ha- 
bent. Magister claram discipuli vocem laudat. Boni pas- 
tores sunt boni custodes gregum suorum. Bonae merces sem- 
per pretium suum habent. In montibus altis aeternae nives 
sunt. Leges judicibus justis sacrae sunt. 

51. The safety of nations [is] lies in peace, not in war. No 
one has everlasting youth. You are not the judge of your 
virtue, but God is. Sheep are wool-bearing animals. Dogs are 
enemies of the timid hares. Cats are enemies of the little mice. 
Virtue alone is the pure spring of true praise. Let boys be 
modest. Hoary hairs are marks of old age, not of wisdom. 
No road is impassable to virtue. The reward of a laborious 
youth is a calm and honorable old age. Walls do not keep 
out mice. Yirtue is the foundation of true safety [of] for men 
and states. Swine are dirty animals, but have savory meat. An 
honest man loves true praise and despises false praise. Broth- 
ers shall be friends. Thou shalt be studious of virtue. The 
way of virtue is narrow. The ears of the timid hare are long. 



— 13 — 

52. Pauci ad senectutem veniunt. Yirtus parentum est 
magna dos. Probi este, pueri, et beati eritis. Aspera et 
ardua est via ad virtutem. Reges non semper salutem civmm 
servant. Homines sunt domini universae telluris. Justitia 
est virtus, domlna et regina virtutum. Laus magistri disci- 
pulo grata est. Vera virtus nullam mercedem desiderat, 
Prope Romam palfides pestiferae erant. Civmm virtus salus 
civitatis est. Homines justo et probo judlcilaudem et honorem 
tribuunt. Magis amamus laetam juventutem quam morosam 
senectutem. Industria et modestia sunt virtutes juventiitis. 
Sues sordidae et foedae sunt. Pueri virtutis studiosi sunto. 
Agricola fidum custodem pecudum suarum habet. 

53. The wheels of spurs have iron teeth. Seas are the 
abodes of fish. Sailors and fishermen have nets. The riders 
have gold spurs. The skill of some animals is wonderful. 
Salt is adapted to horses, oxen and sheep. Seas are deep. 
Bees are makers of honey. Sea-water is salt. Revenues 
are necessary to a state. A spoon is hollow. Even gold 
spurs have iron teeth. Silver spurs and silver spoons are 
not rare. The sun is the cause of heat. In the sea there 
are many fishes. Pure honey is yellow. Hares are timid ani- 
mals. Frugality is a great income. Let a judge be just. 
The farmer has a great abundance of honey. -The nets of 
hunters are dangerous to birds. In the woods are lairs 
of foxes and hares. Brutus and Collatinus were the first 
consuls of the Romans. A good model has always great 
usefulness. 

54. Sol noct^m pellit. Maria piscium plena sunt. Conclave 
meum magnum est. Fel amarum est, mel dulce. Sal bonus 
est albus et durus. Exemplaria virtutis rara sunt. Eques 
equum actitis calcaribus stimulat. Sol mundi ociilus est. 
Sanguis multorum animalium ruber est. Nonnulli piscatores 
retla sericea habent. CochlearTa argentea sunt cara. Mel 
purum cibus jucundus est. Mare profundum piscium domici- 
ltum est. Equites Mexicani plerumque argentea calcarla 
habent. Sol magnus est, lima est parva. Alti montes sunt 



— 14 — 

altaria Dei. Auetoritas consilium Romanorum magna erat. 
Galllnae, anates, anseres, oves, vaccae, boves, equi sunt ani- 
malia domestica. Umbrae calorem solis levant. 

55. The voice of the peacock is not sweet. Life is short, 
art long. Justice is the mother of all virtues. Nothing is so 
like [to] death as sleep. In summer the nights are short. The 
remembrance of past evils is sweet. Reason is the first of all 
the powers of the mind. Even hard work is useful to boys. 
Old age is an incurable disease. In the northern part of 
America, there are long winters and short summers. Wooden 
bridges are frail. The largest terrestrial animal is the ele- 
phant. All happiness is uncertain and unsteady. All winds are 
contrary to a frail ship. Hills are small and low mountains. 
The stag is swift and timid. The dove is timid and swift. 
Waders have long necks and short tails. The sweet smells of 
flowers please [to] all men. Not every short road is easy. 

56. Inventores artmm sunt celebres. Omne initium difficile 
est. Somnus morti similis est. Multa animalia hominibus 
utilia sunt. Feles omnium avium inimlci sunt. Omnia maria 
pisces habent. In septentionali Americae parte multa utilia 
animalia sunt. Aer purus sanitati hommum saluber est. 
Omnes infantes mel dulce amant. Equi et vaccae sunt anima- 
lia domestica ; omnia animalia domestica utilia sunt. Deus 
omnium hommum pater est. Suaves avium voces personant 
virldem silvam. Tugurlum humlle interdum domicilium felici- 
tatis est. Omnes mundi partes testes sunt sapientiae et 
benevolentiae Dei. Lac dulce infantibus jucundum est. Cervi 
et lepores sunt animalia celeria. Ferrum est metallum utile 
et necessarium. Omnes homines mortales sunt. Hieme noctes 
longae sunt, aestate noctes breves sunt. Yiri fortes pericula 
non timent. 

57. The conversations of wise men are useful to boys. Many 
animals are fierce and hostile to men. Pleasure is fallacious 
and unfriendly to virtue. A true estimate of miseries is diffi- 
cult to the happy. Long is the way through precepts, short 






— 15 — 

and efficient through examples. After the cruel battle there 
was a terrible sight in the open field. The master awards 
double wages to a diligent servant. Luxury is shameful 
to every age. Judges are not always merciful, but they 
[shall] should always be just and upright. Great is the 
authority of wise and sensible men. My friend is sick 
with a violent toothache. Lying people are often loqua- 
cious. There are not only rapacious birds, but also rapa- 
cious fishes. 

58. Leges civibus utiles sunt. Yulpes est animal rapax. 
Leones sunt animalia ferocia etrobusta. Aves rapaces ungues 
acres habent. Alexander magnus et potens rex erat. Nemo 
semper felix est. America multa ferocia animalia habet. 
Adulescentes sunt feroces, senes sunt sapientes. Sermones 
sapientlum virorum pueris docilibus utiles sunt. Nemo puero 
mendaci credit. Leones animalia rapacia sunt. America 
montes ingentes habet. Cervi sunt veloces, aslni sunt tardi. 
Yita agricolarum simplex est, ut natura. Magistri praecepta 
diligenti discipulo utilia sunt. Vir prudens sermonem multi- 
tudinis loquacis vitat. Felix mater liberos suos amat. Ele- 
phantes, canes, equi sunt animalia prudentia. Yenator velo- 
cem cervum sagitta vulnerat. 

59. The tops of mountains are often shady. A thankful mind 
is mindful of benefits. About rivers there are frequent fogs. 
The tortoise is safe within its cover. In Spain many maidens 
have silver combs. History hands down the names of illustri- 
ous men. Sailors like the light of the moon. Thunderbolts 
are terrible and swift. To a slothful man all work is hard. 
The life of the poor is not void of all pleasure. Experienced 
sailors have certaim omens of a coming storm. Equal labors 
require equal wages. Degenerate sons are not mindful of 
their parents. Rich people are not all happy, poor people 
are not all wretched. Even a fly has a spleen. The ancient 
Romans w r ere brave. Man is an animal without feathers, 
having two legs. The dinners of the poor are not agreeable 
to the rich. Large rivers carry large ships. 



— 16 — 

60. Vinum vetus amamus, sed non amamus panem veterem. 
Pastoris canes sunt vigiles. Vita divitum multas voluptates 
habet. Omnium animalmm implumium homo solus bipes est. 
In sepulcro pauper diviti par est. Sunt anates ferae et ciciires. 
Mors divitibus et pauperibus, adulescentibus et senibus, regi- 
bus et mendicis communis est. Soror tua pulchrum pectlnem in 
crine habet. Nomina magnorum AmerTcae flummum omnibus 
discipulis diligentibus nota sunt. Puellae carmrna legunt. 
Sol lucidus omnia suo lumme illummat. Hieme cacumma col- 
lium nive obruta sunt. Luna et stellae sunt lumma noctis. 
AnimalTa rationis et orationis expertta sunt. Pueri, memores 
este officiorum vestrorum ! Bonum initium semper bonum 
omen est. 

61. A bad conscience is a heavy burden. The body of man 
is mortal, the soul immortal. Every man has his rights. The 
soldier was wearied with the journey, and the cold, and with 
his wounds. A public office is a great burden to my father. 
Many kinds of plays are not fitted for youth. In spring-time 
we see swallows. Poverty is a great burden to many people. 
Brave men do not feel wounds in battle. Time destroys all 
the works of men. Wounds are ornaments of brave soldiers. 
Many kinds of trees are fruit-bearing. The legs of swift ani- 
mals are slender. Life and death are laws of nature. The 
sailor tells of the winds, the plowman of bulls ; the soldier 
reckons up his wounds, the shepherd his sheep. The stars are 
the works of God. A wicked man fears the punishment of his 
crimes. The time of old age is like [to] winter. In winter 
we like the city, in summer the delightful country. O times, 
O manners ! 

62. Aestate nemora sunt umbrosa et amoena. Cervus tenuia 
crura habet. Memoria est munus divinum. Mens sana in 
corpore sano magnum beneficmm est. Tempus vitae no- 
strae est breve. ModestTa maximum juventutis decus est. 
Milites fortes vulnera et mortem non timent. Pedes et brac- 
chia sunt partes corporis humani. Nullum vermium genus 
ossa habet. In mari multa piscium genera sunt. Paupertas 



— 17 — 

saepe beneficmm est, non onus. Litora multorum marium 
sunt arenosa. Caelum, terra et omnia sidera sunt opera om- 
nipotentis Dei. Modicum frigus corpori sano non nocet. 
Yulnera fratris mei sunt periculosa. Etiam in calamitate 
pectus viri probi firmum est. Jus hommis in pectore scriptum 
est. Tempora mutant mores hommum. Ubi jus incertum, ibi 
jus nullum. Camelus magna onera portat. Sunt multa ge- 
nera animalium cicurum. 

63* All quadrupeds have teeth in the mouth. Clouds are the 
causes of rain, snow, hail and lightning. The lion has great 
strength. The seat of the mind is neither in the heart, nor in 
the brain. Flashes of lightning are often injurious to the eyes 
of men. The rapacious vultures fly away. The white teeth of 
elephants furnish valuable ivory. The throats of birds [bring 
forth] utter pleasant sounds. Sound lungs, a sound heart, and 
a sound liver are the foundation of good health. Yultures 
tear the dead bodies of men and beasts. The timid turtle- 
doves have their abodes in the woods. Pleasant is the mur- 
mur of brooks. Milk is the food of babes. It is an old proverb: 
Many heads, many opinions. The arms, the feet and the head 
are necessary parts of the human body. Farmers feed their 
swine on bran. The watchfulness of dogs is often the terror 
of thieves and robbers. The rooms of the Romans were 
adorned with gold and ivory. 

64. Animalla silvae leonis robur timent. Pulmones prope cor 
et jecur siti sunt. Vultures et aqutlaesunt aves rapaces. Agri- 
colae magnam coplam lactis et mellis habent. Aestate lac dulce 
infantibus jucundum est. Ociili, aures et os sunt partes capitis. 
India mittit ebur. Fulgura aerem purgant. Elephanti habent 
magna capita, latos pedes et parvos ociilos. Tempus juven- 
tutis veri simile est. Leones non devorant cadavera anima- 
lium et hommum. Nemo patrtam amat, quia magna est, sed 
quia sua. Probi judtcis tribunal terror latronum et furum 
est. Infantes bibunt laof Turturis vox lugiibris ver annun- 
tiat. Senectus venit taclto pede. Calliditas furum saepe 
magna est. 



— 18 — 

65. Riddles are pleasing to boys. My country is the world. 
Cooks season food with salt, pepper and like condiments. 
The body is the vessel of the mind, so to speak. Hasten 
slowly. Rome, a mighty city of Italy, was the head of the 
whole earth. The oracles were like obscure enigmas. Love 
virtue, shun vices ! Beef is the food of poor and rich. The 
merchants sell vessels and furniture, they buy ivory and 
brass. Constancy is the foundation of virtues. All educated 
people like poetry. Short and troublesome is the journey 
through frail life. Immense are the journeys of the stars 
through the high ether. In many poems we read the praise of 
great men. 

66. Aenigma pulchrum saepe obscurum est. Non omnia aro- 
mata jucundum odorem habent. ArbSres habent truncum et 
cortlcem, radices, ramos, frondem, flores. Acti labores jucundi. 
Salus populi suprema lex est. Autumnus effundit fruges. 
Felicitas multos amlcos habet. Liberi parentes amanto ! Ca- 
meli sitim diu tolerant. Aves aera amant, pisces aquam. 
Parentes amare naturae suprema lex est. Ora et labora! 
Per aspera ad astra ! Divites magnam habent coptam supel- 
lectflis. Amatote patrem et matrem. Turtiires amoris et 
amicitiae symbolum sunt. Terra habet montes cum silvis, 
herbis, rupibus et metallis; valles cum pratis, floribus, grami- 
nibus; maria, flumina et rivos, animalia et homines. Honora 
patrem et matrem ! 

67. Every animal has senses. The stag has a keen sight. 
The rainbow has various colors. America has many harbors. 
The houses of poor people are low and small. The weapons 
of beasts are horns, teeth, talons and beaks. Impetuous emo- 
tions of the mind are like [to] waves of the sea. Severe cold is 
destructive to sheep. The song of the lark is pleasing to the 
farmers. Before death no one will be happy. In Italy there 
are yet ruins of the Roman aqueducts. Exercise your memory 
every day. [Almost nobody] Hardly any body writes with his 
left hand. We see high oaks in the woods. Well-bred children 
obey [to] the nod of their parents. Wash your hands! The 






-. 19 - 

rhinoceros has a horn on its nose. Hand washes hand. In 
the houses of the rich Romans there were splendid galleries. 
I am almost always at home, you seldom. 

68. Venetiae et Eboracum Novum portus magnificos habent. 
Magistratus sunt custodes legum. Leones taurorum cornua 
non formidant. In septentrionalTbus Ainericae partibus multi 
et magni lacus sunt. Aquilae acrem visum habent. In lacu- 
bus et fluminlbus multa pisctum genera sunt. Manus nostrae 
varlis laboribus aptae sunt. Ferae bestiae saepe in speciibus 
domicilia habent. Indius Alio suo arcum et sagittam dat. 
Radices literarum sunt amarae, fructus dulces. Patris adven- 
tus delectat liberos. Pulchri sunt arcus caelestis colores. 
Acus magnettca semper ad septentriones spectat. Ranae in 
lacubus et paludlbus vivunt. Homo quinque sensus habet: 
visum, auditum, gustum, tactum et olfactum. Pueri, manus 
vestrae sunt sordidae; cur non lavatis manus vestras ? 

69. Human affairs are fleeting and frail. The forehead, the 
eyes, the nose and the mouth are primary parts of the human 
face. Winter covers the fields with snow, and the rivers with 
ice. Hope is the last consolation of adversity. Use is the 
best teacher of human affairs. We see the image of the sun 
in springs and lakes. Brothers have sometimes a wonderful 
resemblance of faces. An entire stick has in water the ap- 
pearance of a broken one. The length of days and nights is 
different in summer and in winter. Lays are parts of years 
and months, hours are parts of days. The rising of the sun 
is the beginning of day. The number of days of human life is 
often small. In all things [there shall be] let there be accu- 
rate order. 

70. InitTa omnium rerum sunt parva. In terrae superficte 
sunt montes, valles, maria, lacus, flumina, rivi. Tempus est res 
pretiosa; tempus est pecunia. Hora est pars diei, et dies est 
pars mensis. Fades capitis pars est. Aestate dies sunt longi, 
noctes breves. Spes nostrae incertae et fallaces sunt. Sapi- 
entia omnium bonarum rerum mater est. Pueri amant dies 




— 20 — 

festos. Eventus magister stultorum est. Fides justitiae soror 
est. Deus est auctor omnium rerum. Historia est rerum 
illustrmm narratio. Leones faciem et vultum hominum formi- 
dant. Parentes progeniem suam amant.* Ultima diei hora 
homines fessos ad quietem vocat. Socratis animus etiam ul- 
timo vitae die hilaris erat et tranquillus. Bonus ordo est 
fundamentum omnium rerum bonarum. 

71. Many men see the vices of others, they do not see their 
own. A faithful dog obeys [to] his master alone. To adversity 
oppose virtue ! No man's life is through all time free from 
cares. O citizens, defend bravely your wives and children. 
Some are slaves to glory, others to money. There is no 
[company of] companionship between cats and mice. A 
perfidious man hardly trusts [to] anybody. Virtue alone is 
the source of a happy life. My father is a merchant; to a 
merchant no other occupation, no other life is pleasing. 1 am 
not born for one corner, my country is the whole world. 
[Citizens shall] Let citizens obey [to] the laws. No man's 
riches are certain. The friendship of many men is nothing else 
than courtesy. No animal is part of another animal. 

72. Numquam soli sumus, semper Deus nobiscum est. Ex- 
empla aliorum nobis sunto, ut specula. Nulla salus sine vir- 
tute est. Frater meus est miles; nullam aliam vitam, nullum 
altud negotmm amat. Ama virtutem, voluptatem contemne, 
mi amice! Hodie tota urbs natalem patris patriae cele- 
brat. Sapienti soli vera virtutis vis nota est. Nulllus homi- 
nis vita ab omni parte beata est. Multae res alii molestae, 
alii jucundae sunt. Alii fructus sunt dulces, sed noxli, alii 
sunt amari, sed valetudmi salutares. Nonnullae bestiae unum 
tantum diem vivunt. Nullum malum librum in manus vestras 
sumite, pueri. Bonae leges toti civitati utiles sunt. Rex est 
dommus terrae suae; Deus est dominus totius mundi. 

73. Gold is useful, iron more useful, A change of manners 
is more. difficult for the old than for the young. The most dili- 
gent scholars are the dearest to their masters. The more 



— 21 — 

diligent scholars are, the dearer they are to their masters. 
Diamond is harder than iron, iron is harder than the other 
metals. Sound is slower than light. In friendship there is 
nothing more pernicious than flattery. Of all trees firs are the 
highest and best fitted for masts of ships. Nothing is sweeter 
than the light of truth. Doves are more timid than geese. 
Black foxes are very rare. The coldest of winds is the north- 
wind. The most useful members of men are the hands. The 
elephant is the most prudent of all [terrestrial] land animals. 
The vapors of water are lighter than air. Oil is lighter than 
water. The days are longer than the nights in summer, and 
shorter in winter. The senses of some animals are keener 
than those of men. The poets praise Rome, the most famous 
city of Italy. The fleetest of fishes is the dolphin. The roots 
of learning are bitter,, but the fruits very pleasant. Higher! 

74. Omnium dolorum dolor dentlum molestisstmus est. Nihil 
dulcius est quam ainicitta. Nullum animal aquatlcum celerlus 
est quam delphlnus. Utilisslma omnium insectorum sunt apes 
et bombyces. Canes sagaciores sunt quam feles. Aurum est 
metallum pretiosius quam ferrum, sed ferrum utilius est quam 
aurum. Cura celerior est quam venti. Tempus est res pretiosis- 
sima. Nihil certlus est quam mors, nihil minus certum quam 
hora mortis. Tempus juventutis pretiosius est quam aurum 
et argentum. In Europa ver est amoenissimum anni tempus; 
sed in America autuinnus jucundlor est quam aestas et ver. 
Lepus animal timidissimum est. Liberi fortunatiores erant 
quam parentes. Pauperes saepe feliciores sunt quam divltes. 
Cameli onera gravissima portant. Hiemis tempore dies bre- 
viores sunt. Ferrum utilius est quam aurum et argentum; 
est omnium metallorum utilisslmum. Litterae sunt pretiosae, 
prudentia pretiostor, et virtus etiam pretiosior. 

75. Avarice is the foulest of all vices. Of ail flowers the 
most beautiful is the rose. God is the most kind and beneficent 
father. Children are often very like [to] their parents. Pep- 
per is much more pungent than salt. The most useful labors 



— 22 — 

difficult to improve. Nothing is more magnificent than the 
sky. The poorest people are not always the most wretched. 
Wine is more pleasant than water, but not more salubrious. 
Vultures have extremely keen eyes. Journeys in ancient 
times were very difficult. Often the richest people are not 
the most benevolent. Light is the swiftest of all things. Air 
is most necessary to life. Hear, O judges! Water is a most 
useful and very necessary thing. Virtue is the finest ornament 
of man. Good health is more desirable than riches. Deeds 
are more difficult than words. Love of our enemies is by far 
the most difficult virtue. [The citizens shall] Let the citizens 
guard the city. 

76. AquTlae ocidi sunt acerrimi. Animalla celerrlma non 
semper sunt validisstma. Crura cervorum gracilllma sunt. 
Nostri viclni domus magnificentior est quam nostra, sed minus 
commoda. Aer levior est quam aqua. Pulcherrlma corporis 
humani pars est factes. Improbi multo miseriores sunt quam 
pauperes. Visus et auditus sunt longe acerrimi sensuum. 
Fratri tuo similltmus es. Aestatis tempus navigationi aptissi- 
mum est. Inventa necessitatis antiquiora sunt quam volupta- 
tis. Pueri consilio sapientium virorum oboediunto. Simla 
est animal homini simillimum. Leones canTbus ferociores 
sunt. Iter longum et asperrimum erit. Nihil est pulchrms, 
nihil amabilms virtute. Dei opera magnificentissima sunt. 
Villus argentum est auro, virtutibus aurum. 

77. Good health is better than great riches. The greater the 
danger, the nearer commonly is the help of God. Virtue is the 
highest good. The camel is larger than the horse, the elephant 
is the largest of all [terrestrial] land animals. Wisdom is the 
best teacher. Very many stars are suns. The most and the 
largest animals are in the sea. Ducks are smaller than geese. 
The lungs are next [to] the heart. A brave soldier is first in 
danger and last in flight. The lower air is denser and heavier 
than the upper. The sun is nearer [to] the earth in winter than 
in summer. The sun is much larger than the earth. Poor peo- 
ple oftea have better manners than rich people. The Greater 



— 23 — 

Dog and the Lesser Dog are constellations of the sky. Care 
is swifter than the swiftest wind. Human life has more pleas- 
ant days than sad ones. Most of the states of America are 
free. The rose is often next [to] the nettle. 

78. Melior homtnis pars immortalis est. Maxima urbs in Italia 
est Neapolis, maxima urbs in America est Eboracum Novum. 
Yulgus imperltum pessimus veritatis interpres est. Homines 
saepe minima mala formldant. Hieme pauperes egentissimi 
sunt. Nihil homimbus magis necessarium est quam aer et 
aqua. Intima rerum natura homtnibus ignota est. Carolus om- 
nium discipulorum optimus est. Luna multo propior est terrae> 
quam sol. Calor interdum plantis magis noxius est quam frigus. 
Nihil magis dubium et magis caducum est quam vita humana. 
Gloria populi Romani maxima erat in bello. Quo breviora 
praecepta sunt, eo meliora. Multo plures homines sunt pau- 
peres quam divites. Yel pessimi homines virtutem laudant. 
Fontes nonnullorum flummum in summis montium cacuminibus 
sunt. Homines nequissimi saepe summos honores habent. 

79. In the human head there are 63 bones. We have two 
eyes, two ears, two arms, one mouth, ten fingers, thirty-two 
teeth. Man consists of two parts, soul and body. The 
strength of one is not so great as that of two. Among the 
twelve disciples of Christ one was a traitor. A thousand 
foot-soldiers and three thousand horse were in the city. A 
year has twelve months, fifty-two weeks, 365 days. Seven or 
eight hours are enough for sleep; two or three hours' sleep is 
not enough. The English language has 26 letters. Pay atten- 
tion, my son! How many months has one year? 12. How many 
weeks has one month? 4. How many days has one year? 365. 
How many hours has one day ? 24. How many days [have] are 
in three years ? 1,095. How many hours has one year? 8, 760. 
Quite right, my Charles. A man of three letters. A thief. 

80. Habemus duos oculos et duas aures, sed unum os. Multi 
labores uni diffictles sunt, sed duobus factles. Duo lumtna 
caeli, sol et luna, terram illumlnant. Apis quattuor alas et 



— 24 — 

sex pedes habet. Sunt quattuor anni tempora: ver, aestas, 
autumnus, hiems. Mensis Januarius unum et triginta dies 
habet. Solon unus ex septem sapientibus fuit. Mundus opus 
est unlus Dei, non plurium. Saeculum est tempus centum an- 
norum; annus est tempus trecentorum sexaginta quinque die- 
rum; mensis est tempus triginta vel unlus et triginta digram; 
Februarius, brevisstmus anni mensis plerumque viginti octo 
dies habet. Quot ossa sunt in corpore humano? In capite 
sunt sexaginta tria, in trunco quinquaginta tria, in artiibus 
superioribus sexaginta octo; in artiibus inferioribus sexaginta 
quattuor. Multa animalta plures quam quattuor pedes habent. 
Yiginti dies sunt quadringentae octoginta horae. Duo amici 
sunt unus animus in duobus corporibus. 

81. The first swallows announce the delightful return of 
spring. December is the twelfth month of the year. The tide 
of the sea flows twice and ebbs twice every 24 hours. An 
hour is the 24th part of a day, and the 8760th part of a year. 
One man has one head, one mouth, two ears, two arms, two 
feet, two hands. Men have each one head, two ears, two arms, 
two feet, two hands. Adults have 32 teeth each, youths 28 each 6 
2X3 = 6. 3X4=12. 5X4 = 20. 8X30 = 240. Air is 800 
times lighter than water. Among the Romans, October was the 
eighth month of the year, now it is the tenth. What o'clock 
is it? Eight or nine o'clock. Most of the scholars have 
already been for three or four years at school. A month is 
the twelfth part of a year. 21X21 = 441. Most insects have 
six feet each, others eight, others a hundred and more. 
America is three times as large as Europe. 

82. Quota hora est? Decima. Magister pueris quaternos 
libros dat. Finis belli triginta annorum fuit anno millesimo 
sexcentestmo quadragesimo octavo. Carolus Magnus impera- 
tor fuit anno octingentesimo post Christum natum. Ultlmus 
anni dies est trecentesimus sexageslmus quintus. Aurum un- 
devicles gravms est quam aqua. Nonnulla insecta centenos 
pedes habent. Apis quattuor alas habet et sex pedes. Apes 
quaternas alas habent et senos pedes. Quot sunt bis bini ? 



Quinquies et vicies duceni quaclrageni singuli sunt sex milta 
viginti quinque. Frater tuus tres liberos habet; sorores tuae 
habent binos. Semel tantuui pueri sumus. Antlquis tem- 
poribus November erat nonus anni mensis, nunc est unde- 
cTmus; December erat decimus, nunc est duodecimus. Octies 
octoni sunt sexaginta quattuor; novies noveni sunt octo- 
ginta unus; decies deni sunt centum. Bis bina milia sunt quat- 
tuor milia. Multi cameli singula tubera in dorso habent, alii 
bina habent. 

83. I am a scholar; we are scholars; you are our master. 
Every animal loves itself. All animals love themselves. 
Truth defends itself. The first and greatest of all victories is 
to conquer one's self. Conscience is the voice of God in us. 
A man himself is the architect of his fortune. Truth is always 
pleasing to me. All men are favorable judges of themselves. 
You and I and my brother take a walk together. Virtue and 
vices always fight with each other. The song of the night- 
ingales delights us. In you and me and us all there is an im- 
mortal soul. [The boys shall] Let the boys walk with us in 
the garden. My parents are as dear to me as yours to you. 
All of you are dear to your parents. Future things arc un- 
known to us. God loves us as a father his children. The 
welfare ©f the republic shall be dear to you. Give us this day 
our daily bread! 

84. Tu legis, ego autem scribo. Nos omnes te amamus, mi 
amice. In te ; Domme, omnis spes nostra et salus est. Pater 
tuus tibi carus est, mihi meus. Viri sapientes se ipsi non lau- 
dant. Amicus verus tempSre periculi tecum erit. Puella 
epistulam sua manu scribit. Boni non sibi ipsis, sed omnibus 
vivunt. Antiquarum linguarum studlum nobis utile est. 
Nemo nostrum semper beatus erit. Frater meus mihi simil- 
limus est, Patria nostra nobis carlor est quain vita. Urbs

habet. Nosce te ipsum! Frater tuus Carolus no uiium quidem 
amlcum habet; se ipsum tantum amat et suum commodum. 
^Omnia mea mecum porto" erant viri sapicntis verba, Nos

omnes morti obnoxii sumus. Ego sum pauper, tu es dives, sed 
ambo sumus fellces. Yer jucundius est quam hiems. Melior 
pars nostri immortalis est. Pueri mali semper inter se pugnant. 

85. This house is higher than that tree. Envy is the compan- 
ion of glory; this is a common fault in great and free states. 
How various are the colors of this flower ! The air is thinner 
on these mountains than in those valleys. The same punish- 
ment is awaiting all the wicked. You see that man with the 
boy; that is my father, the boy is his son, my brother. You see 
that building with the garden; that is my home; its garden is 
charming. The inhabitant of that elegant house is a very rich 
man. The father praises his son and gives him a nice book; he 
often delights him with a like gift. The duties of men are not 
the same at all times. A wise man loves not the glory of vir- 
tue, but virtue itself. The end of this life is the beginning of 
that eternal life. The shepherd and his dog are wearied. I do 
not believe [to] that lying fellow. That is a celebrated precept 
of the Delphic oracle: "Know thyself." We know God from 
his works. All the boys of our school read the same books. 

86. Hie liber utilis est. Hi libri utiles sunt. In hoc libro multa 
folia sunt. In hoc mundo nihil perfectum est. Yita nostra 
est iter breve; initlum hujus itineris est natalis noster, ejus 
finis mors. Iste amicus tuus vir doctissimus est. Haec opinio 
mihi placet, ilia mini displicet. Nonnullae bestlae sunt ferae, 
aliae sunt cicures; hae sunt comites hominum, illae plerumque 
i:i silvis vivunt. Frater meus auctor elegantissimus est; ejus 
libros libenter lego. Fidum amlcum habeo; ei addictus sum. 
Eaedem res non omnibus hominlbus placent. Yaccae sunt 
animalia domestica, earum utilitas permagna est. Non omnes 
flores eosdem colores habent. Pedes pavonum sunt foedi, at 
pennae eorum sunt pulcherrimae. Bonorum liberi non semper 
sunt ipsi boni. Omnium voluptatum fons in nobis ipsis est. 

87. An animal which has blood has a heart. We call migra- 
tory birds those which in autumn and spring remove to other 
countries. Those animals are swift which have long legs. 
Hares have two ears which are longer than the head. The 



— 27 — 

same day that is the end of this life is the beginning of the 
eternal life. None of us is the same in old age that he was 
when young. That which is useful is not always pleasant. 
He is needy who has not enough. He who despises a good 
name despises virtue. What is sweeter than honey ? What 
metal is the most useful ? A man, when he is asleep, is free 
from cares and pains. Sleep refreshes those who are wearied 
with labors. Happy is he who is satisfied with his lot. Not 
he who has most, but he who wants least, is the richest. 
What is more desirable than wisdom? what more excellent? 
what better for man? Whatever you learn, you learn for 
yourself, not for your teacher. What evil is [heavier] more 
severe than war ? What is the news ? 

88. Magnum flumen, quod vides, est Rhenus. Agri, per quos 
ambulamus, fertilissimi sunt. Qui se ipse vincit, vir fortis 
est. Qui omnia sua semper secum portat, non est sapiens. 
Felix est magister, quern omnes discipuli amant. Omnia ani- 
malia, quae sangumem habent, cor quoque habent. Qui ami- 
cis suis fidelissimi sunt, ii nobis carissimi sunt. Quod animal 
majores vires habet quam elephantus ? Quid scribis, dulcissi- 
me? Epistulara. Quern librum legis? Quid virtute praestan- 
tius est ? Quid interest inter bonos et improbos ? In illis arbori- 
bus, quae viclni hortum ornant, multae aves cantant. Cantus, 
quos audlmus, nobis grati sunt. Quidnam agis, dulcissime ? 
Scribis? Ita est; amlco epistulam scribo. Est Deus in caelo, 
qui omnia videt. Ii qui virtute praediti sunt, soli divites sunt. 

89. How much pleasure virtue gives ! Some nations live on 
fish and birds' eggs. To every body his own manners are the 
most pleasing. Every man is the architect of his own fortune. 
Let each have his own ! It is the custom of fools to say any- 
thing. The better one is, the more modest he is. How many 
trees are in your garden ? Laziness is shameful to every one, 
but especially to young men. Every animal has senses. 
Everyman's life has some troubles. How is your health now? 
It is such now as it was before; it is neither better, nor worse. 
A true friend is, so to speak, another self. In each one of us 



— 28 — 

the love of life is inborn. As many men, so many opinions. 
Those things which injure, instruct. Of two evils choose the 
less; of two vices, neither. Whatever is honest is useful. 
Like king like [flock] people. 

90. Sunt quaedam animalia, quae unum tantum diem vivunt. 
Qualis est magister, tales sunt discipuli. Pulchritudo solis 
hodie tanta est, quanta unquam fuit. Quanta est conscientlae 
vis ! Juventus est quaedam pars vitae. Qui docet, discit. 
Magister uniculque puerorum pulchrum librum dat. Liberi 
non semper sunt tales, quales parentes sunt. Molestlae meae 
nunc non sunt tantae, quantae antea erant. Hanc epistillam 
scribo alicui amicorum meorum. Qualis est animus noster? 
Quorundam juvenum mores nobis non placent. Unusquisque 
suum commodum quaerit. Quaedam animalta longissimam 
vitam habent. Suos quisque parentes amat, et sui culque 
parentes sunt cari. Omnes artes, quae ad humanitatem perti- 
nent, habent quoddam commune vinculum. 

91. Those who remove across the sea change the sky, not 
their mind. The most pleasant sailing is near the land, the 
most pleasant walk is near the sea. The earth turns around 
its axis. All animals live according to nature. All things 
are frail beneath the moon. After rains there comes one fair 
day. The empire over the whole world is in the hands of 
God. Above us we see a multitude of stars. Few men live 
above ninety years. Sleep after dinner is not salutary. Be- 
fore noon we attend to our occupations, after noon we walk 
through the meadows and woods. A fool digs a well near a 
river. Many men obey [to] the laws on account of fear. If 
boys are well, they [shall] should not sleep over seven hours. 
After darkness (comes) light. Young men for labors ! Rich 
people have magnificent country-houses near the city. Men 
are more prone to pleasure than to virtue. Sicily is situated 
over against Italy. 

92. Aves per aera volant. Puella liberos ad cenam vocat. 
Contra mortem nulla arma habemus. Liberi erga parentes et 
magistros grati sunto. Navigatio juxta litus periculosa est. 



— 29 — 

Medici remedia habent contra morbos, contra mortem nullum 
remedmm habent. Tua voluntas erga me, et mea erga te 
sunt pares. Rosae fulgent inter lilia. Est magna linguarum 
varietas inter homines. Per noctem sidera videmus. Multi 
dies festi apud Romanos erant. Pisces per aquam mtant. 
Inter caecos monoculus rex est. Secundum naturam vivere 
optima vita est, at multi homines contra naturam vivunt. 
Magister hos discipulos propter diligentiam laudat, illos 
propter pigritiam vituperat. Mulieres pleruinque domus et 
res domesticas curant, yiri negotia extra domum. 

93. We hear the song of birds with great pleasure. With- 
out virtue no one is happy. You are safe if God is with- you. 
Death for one's country is glorious. [Plays] Playing with 
lions has never been safe. Without virtue nothing is praise- 
worthy. It is pleasant to me to walk with my friends through 
fields and woods. Death delivers the diseased from all evils. 
He is impudent who requires for a benefit not thanks, but even 
reward. Nothing of all that we see remains. The passage from 
virtue to vices is easier than from vices to virtue. Man has 
a resemblance [with] to God. With a friend we deliberate re- 
specting the least and the greatest affairs. There is more 
danger from the doctor than from the disease. If God is with 
us, who shall be against us ? They take away the sun out of the 
world, who take away friendship out of life. One out of many ! 

94. jSuIHus hominis vita sine dolore est. Mare AtlantTcum 
Amerlcam ab Europa dividit. Dulce et decorum est pro pa- 
tria mori. Sine dubio virtus praestantlor est auro. Volare 
sine pennis facile non est. Pica certat cum luscinla. Ut ager 
sine cultura, sic est animus sine litteris. Non est triticum sine 
paleis. Cives pro patria pugnant, pro libertate et legtbus. 
Libera me ab homtne malo, a me ipso! Ex omnibus animali- 
bus, quae nobiscum vivunt, canes fidelissTma sunt. Nemo vi- 
vit sine auxillo Dei. Facta homtnum non semper cum verbis 
eorum congruunt. Nil sine magno labore ! Pax vobiscum ! 
Sine virtate nulla amicitTa est. Canis prae elephanto parvus, 
prae mure magnus est. 



— 30 — 

95. Many birds migrate before winter to warmer countries. 
We do not see all things which come under our eyes. Not all 
the rivers which are upon this earth flow into the ocean. It 
is not troublesome to soldiers to live under the open sky. 
Some animals dwell under ground, fish in the water. In the 
gardens there are various trees and various flowers. In Cali- 
fornia the winter is milder than with us. Under the ground 
there is a great multitude of useful things. Along the wall of 
our garden there flows a brook. The air is purest and most 
salubrious on a mountain. We have other peoples' vices be- 
fore our eyes, our own are behind our back. In this world all 
things are mortal except men's souls. There is nothing new 
under the sun. Brave men do not feel wounds in battle. 
Poisons are concealed under honey. Eagles have their nests 
on high rocks, swallows under the roofs of houses. A learned 
man always has his riches in himself. Larks fly up into the 
air, singing and praising God. On the [first] earliest coins 
there was the image of an animal. 

Honey in the mouth, words of milk 
Gall in the heart, and fraud in deeds. 

96. Subter terram multae res utiles sunt. Epistulam in mani- 
bus teneo. Super capita nostra sidera innumera sunt. Saepe 
bellum sub nomine pacis latet. Ubi sunt pueri? In horto 
ambulant. In urbe vivere non omnibus placet. Luseinla non 
semper in eadem regione manet. Mors in fuga turpis, decora 
in victoria est. Sub hiemem multae aves in alias terras mi- 
grant. In libera civitate lingua libera esse debet et mens. 
Nemo in sua causa testis esse debet. Saepe est sub sordtdo 
palliolo sapientia. Proba vita est via in caelum. Aves sub 
nubibus volant, pisces in aqua natant et vermes repunt in 
terra. Multae aves capita subter alas condunt, quando dor- 
miunt. Nihil est novi sub luna ! EtTam sub aureo tecto habi- 
tat cura. Nihil in homine tarn fragile est quam memoria. 

97. It is not enough to live; we ought to live well. Old men 
seldom change life. We sail safely if the sea is calm. Good 
boys observe carefully the precepts of their parents and 



— 31 — 

teachers. Prudently shun dangers ! Modesty adorns a boy 
very much. He gives twice who gives quickly. It is a 
beautiful thing to speak the truth; it is more beautiful to hear 
it willingly. The houses of rich people are elegantly adorned. 
Where liberty is, there is my country. A word is enough 
for a wise man. Nature never says one thing, wisdom an- 
other. We trust our eyes [further] more than our ears. Soon 
ripe, soon rotten. Where the carcass is, there will also be 
the eagles. God governs the world most wisely. You owe 
your life not less to your country than to your parents. Man 
is first a child, next a boy, then a youth, afterwards a man, 
finally an old man. Deer [lose] shed their horns every year. 
Very often sons are like their fathers, often even better, 
much oftener, however, worse. We judge more correctly of 
the vices and virtues of others than of our own. To-day for 
me, to-morrow for thee ! 

98. Bene vivere est feliciter vivere. Cameli sitim patientlus 
tolerant quam equi. Frater meus diutlus in Italia quam in 
HispanTa fait. Non benescribis, mi fili; multo melius scribere 
debes. Fortlter pugnate, cives, pugnatis pro patria vestra. 
Cervi celerms currunt quam canes. Falcones celemme et 
altissime volant. Cur tain celeriter curritis, pueri? Cur non 
lentius ambulatis? Numquam virtutem impune negliglmus. 
Scribere facile est, sed bene scribere non facile est. Boni 
liberi parentum voluntati libentissime oboediunt. Homo aeger 
medici praecepta diligenter observare debet. Avari plerum- 
que pejus vivunt quam pauperes. Lacrima cito arescit. Ni- 
hil lacrima citius arescit. Canes celeriter currunt, lepores 
celerius, cervi celerrime. Hanc epistulam iterum scribere de- 
bes, mi fili. Alauda suavius canit quam acanthis, sed omnium 
avium luscinia suavissime canit. 

99. Flowers delight men not only by their beauty but also 
by their sweet smell. We ought to practice justice not only 
in deeds but also in words. The air is now rainy, now 
serene. Justice is a virtue, the mistress and queen of all 
virtues. In Africa there are neither wild boars, nor stags, 



— 32 — 

nor goats, nor bears. Neither poverty, nor death, nor bonds 
frighten a wise man. A miser does not possess riches, but 
riches possess him. He has never been your friend who de- 
serts you; because true friendship never ceases. While fools 
avoid some faults, they run into the contrary ones. Go to the 
bees and ants, ye sluggards, and learn industry. Metals are 
either [noble] precious, or [ignoble] base. The precious 
metals are silver and gold, the base ones brass or copper, 
lead, quicksilver. By tyrants even friends are suspected. 
Death ought to be before the eyes of youth as well as of the old. 

100. Nonnulla animalia et in aqua et in terra vivunt. Furem 
fur cognoscit, et lupum lupus. Stulti sunt ii, qui pulchritu- 
dine vel divitlis superbiunt. Invidia non solum vivos, sed 
etiam mortuos rodit. Tigris neque leonem neque elephantum 
timet. Aut Caesar, aut nullus. Bellum cum vitiis, sed pax 
cum personis. Saepe certa amittlmus, dum incerta petimus. 
Poetae Latmi mare vocant "aequor", quia aequum est. Ani- 
malium motus diversus est, vel ambulant et currant, vel volant, 
vel natant. Tarn pauperes quam divites mori debent. Dum 
felis dormit, mures saliunt. Dum valemus, facile aegrotis 
bonum consilium damus. Homo homlni aut deus, aut lupus. 
Fortes non modo fortuna adjuvat, ut est in vetere proverbio, 
sed multo magis ratio. Laudabo te, mi fili ; si probus et dilt- 
gens eris. Finis coronat opus.
